"kit Warren." !"

This celebrated humorist, in a well written article Tn q recent num- Der of the Sunny South, published in Atlanta, Ga, says:
 Everywhere I go I hear of unad vertised and remarkable cures effect ed by "Switt's Specific" and this is compelled to be the experience of every man who travels and talks. For example, l was going in q buggy to town (Senoia) few nights ago with MT. John Mcknight, when the conversation turned to the possibili- ty of curing cancers.
 "They can oe cured,' said he q cured one-a genuine, well develop ed, long standing caneer-and it's been well several years, and the former victim is stout and healthy"
 How cid you cure it:' I asked.
 "I cured it with $. 5. &"
 Did you inform Swift of the curey'
 "Why, no; what's the use? Swift knows his medicine will cure can ccrS.
 This incident is one Of the mum berless prophecies that are daily predicting the future of Swift's Spe ciiic. l might go much further with this branch of the subject might show the wonderful growth of the business--might show the expense in 1879 at $30, 900, and 1886 at $25O, GOO. l might enlarge upon these and many other facts, we're l writing an advertisement, which l again as scrt am not.

THE blessings of relief from the hateful mortgage would well nigh be achieved in Pope county, if every man who reads this paragraph, would resolve for himself, regardless of the cost, to live next year without re sorting to it. It would perhaps cost some little pinching; but, at next harvest time, the blessing would be. gin to be revealed. While there are men who want to mortgage, there will be those who will take them as a matter of course.

WE predict there will be fewer legislators go to Little Rock this week on afree pass than ever known before. Say what you will about the free pass, and scout the idea oi it's abolishment by the legislature, if you are a mind to, but the fact is the people have their minds made up, and they propose to have their will respected, and, in consequence, not many legislators will ride on free passes to the legislature.

A YOUNG lady not a thousand miles away from Pine Bluff, says the Press Eagle, just for fun answered an ad- vertisement for correspondents in a Cincinnati paper. The fun and cor respondence were carried to the point of an engagement of course, but, when the benedict arrived, he happened not to be fair to look upon, and the young lady changed her mind all of a sudden, and by the aid of friends the young man from "up wonder" was persuaded to depart all alone, and he departed wiser if not happier man.

RAISING one's own bid is thing not so very unusual. But raising it thirty fold is what is surprising. At the recent sale of the Little Rock, Mississippi River and Texas Rail- way, Mir. Jay Gould bought it for S50,000. Upon examination howev CT, he found that the laws of Arkan- sas gave twelve months in which to redeem the road by paying l5 per cent. on the purchase money. He was afraid some one or company might take notion to do this, so he goes before the court himself and asks that the sale be set aside and the road resold, and he now proposes to raise his bid from S50,000 to Sl,- 100000. WI;h a monopolist like Mr. Gould it don't appear to make much difference about dollars wheth- CT they are counted by thousands or millions, just 80 he can put his hands on what he wants, and he most always gets his hands there. The difference between $50,000 and Sl,500.000 is Sl,450,000, quite a difference indeed, and quite jump in ones bid. When the first bid was made Mir. Gould thought it could be gobbled easiest that way, but upon consideration found the latter likely to be the cheaper and safer in the long run, and so he asks for hss first bid to be revoked for the purpose of raising 1t to the lowest possible amount for which he can get it and have no further trouble.

THE iron industry has had won derful development in many of the southern states since the census of 1880. In Alabama the increase has been from 130,000 tons in 1880 to 3S6,000 in iSS6 And in Tennessee from 13l ,000 in 1880 to 350,000 in 1886, and great development in sey- eral others. The fact IS evident that with their wonderful resources ol ore and fuel the southern states will soon become the chief producing sec tion of iron in the United States.

CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of weight in the back, loins and lower part of the abdomen, causing the patient 10 suppose he had some afiec- ton ofthe kidneys or ncighboring or gans. At times, symptoms of indiges- tion are present, as flatulency, uneasi- ness of the stomach, etc. A moisture. like precipitation, producing 6 very disagreeablc itching, after getting warm, is I very common attendant.

WE hear good deal said all over the state about changing the pres ent road law, so that instead oi working the road by requiring citi- zens to work so many days, they shall be worked by taxation. The
 sestion is would this be any relief

DEATH has claimed another noted victim, one of the nations noted men. Senator John A. Logan of Illinois. He died Sunday evening, at 3 o'clock, Dec. 26th, of acute rheu- matlsm. He was GO years, 10 months and l5 days old at the time of his death. His father was native lrlshman. His death was very sud. den and startling. He was one of the most noted volunteer generals of the late war on the Union side, and in his dash and intrepidity iesem bled to a great degree our own Gen. Forrest. It was scarcely announced to the country that Gen. Logan was dead until a subscription was started for his widow, and went rolling up into the thousands as fast as the wires could unload telegraphic sub scriptions. Many thousands will in all probability be raised in very short time to put Mrs. Logan in pos session of q handsome income apart from what property the General left behind him. A pension also is spoken of in congress for her benefit. This has been a wonderfully prolific year in the demise of great and noted Americans.
